Wandering through the beautiful lakefront villa gardens, accidentally missing the last ferry ride back to the train station, and enjoying some delicious seafood from Lake Como, I couldn't have imagined a better way to spend my short weekend trip at the exquisite Italian lake of Lago di Como. Here we are with another weekend adventure - short but sweet!

Illuminating blue waters in the Blue Lagoon, freshly caught seafood, and some of the best spots to try snorkeling or scuba diving - I call this the perfect weekend getaway, others call it Malta.

I'll be 1,000% honest with you when I say that before moving to Europe, the only Malta I knew was the drink! I had no clue there was an island (multiple islands), nonetheless a country, in the Mediterranean just in between Sicily and Northern Africa. I feel as if most Europeans know about Malta and keep it hidden, tucked away for their own good without sharing its goodness with everyone else - selfish, ha!
